The Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region is no stranger to water- and weather-induced hazards. Every year, these disasters result in loss of lives, livelihoods, and damage to infrastructure throughout HKH countries.
The SERVIR program, launched in 2005, connects NASA, U.S. researchers, a network of development partners around the world, and companies like Google to harness the power of satellite observations — helping countries see, with greater clarity, how their environments affect well-being and safety.
One of the major challenges in monitoring forests is identifying forest degradation processes. Recent years have seen advancements in satellite remote sensing technology, which has in turn revealed changed patterns of illegal deforestation activity in the Amazon rainforest.
The Spatio-temporal monitoring of the mangrove ecosystem, in collaboration with the CIIFEN, generated a Google Earth Engine code to support the monitoring of mangrove change.
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) has been implementing the SERVIR-HKH Initiative — one of five regional hubs of the SERVIR network — in its Regional Member Countries, prioritizing capacity building and science activities in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan.
The Spatio-temporal monitoring of soil water erosion service, in collaboration with the Ecuadorian Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAG), will generate a Google Earth Engine app to support the monitoring of soil water erosion and the analysis of its impact in the Ecuadorian Amazon basin.
Wheat is one of Afghanistan's largest agricultural products, yet current production levels fail to meet increasing demand, and wheat remains one of the nation's biggest imports.
